Cleavage continues Chris Tysh’s exploration of the self and the body as an erotic alphabet. The 26 poems embolden even the most cautious reader to advance deeply into the text and reclaim herself. The book builds a witty matrix of language entertainments, no holds barred and no opportunity unexplored .Cleavage is erotic, intelligent, self-aware and acutely conscious with a hothouse femme expertise. Vernacular and current, literary and erudite, Tysh’s references serve her immediate images in one deft sketch after another, showing us women in their most intimate relations to themselves, their lives, and circumstances. Tysh is possessed of a singular sensual intellect, now fully mature, and going at full throttle.—Johanna Drucker
Born and raised in Paris, poet, playwright and translator, Chris Tysh is the author of several collections of poetry and plays. On the faculty of the English Department at Wayne State University, she teaches creative writing and women’s studies.
